About the deprecation of NRPE by Nagios and maybe the NSClient++ because the last release is April 2018, what is the roadmap ? using the NCPA agent ?

Hello

We are aware of this issue and we plan to package the NRPE v4.0.3 release.
But I can’t give you a date.

Currently, we are still using NRPE and NSClient++.
Even if the last release was in 2018, the software is working fine and answer the current needs.

Hello,

Thank you for your quick reply :)

I’m waiting the package with the release of NRPE 4.0.3

Yes NRPE ans NSClient++ do the job, i see the License of NCPA and it seems be closed to Nagios only.

Hello @gespada 

 

I can send you a RPM if it can’t wait few more days.

 

We had a little issue during the publication these packages on stable repositories, but we’ve successfully built and tested it. 

 

Kind regards,

Hello @sims24 

Yes, if it possible, i want the package 😃

It’s could be great, because for this moment i just found the workaround to install the lastest release of NRPE3 by rpm or yum command of this package centreon-nrpe3-plugin-3.2.1-9.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm

that i do update after the publication of the packaging 4.0.3
